I have high HCG and low Papp-A. So far my pregnancy is completely normal. I do contribute my neverending morning sickness to my high HCG levels. I would talk to your doctor and try not to worry about it. Hang in there, Momma!

Were you flagged for down's (if you did testing)? I have high hcg and low papp-a and was just under the cutoff for high risk. Haven't gotten the second screening back yet or another US (because it wasn't "positive"), but I'm still concerned.

I don't mind, lol, but I honestly don't remember. I'm pretty sure it was higher than yours though. I got genetic testing done after because the high HCG and low Papp-a meant a high risk for Downs. MaterniT21 test came back everything normal though. What test did you have that showed the high HCG? Was it your NT blood work or something different?

It was the second trimester blood screening. Not sure if it has a special name other than that. I was never offered MaternIT or Harmony so I am going to ask my doctors office if that's something they can offer me at this point.

Yes, that is why I was flagged. I was off the chart high risk for Downs. When I went for genetic counseling they said that was a big indicator. I took an additional test that came back normal. I know it's hard not to worry and read into any of these tests, but just remember only the CVS and amino give absolute results.

No, not really. She just said she wants to monitor me more closely and have me in for more frequent appointments. Everything else came back negative, so I'm hoping it's nothing. But it's good they're being extra cautious and that my little one will be getting some extra attention from the doctor.

Thanks for your responses by the way - I appreciate your input. It's always reassuring to be reminded we're all going through similar struggles. :)

I think you replied to another post but I had a low birth weight baby who was born early. I don't think I had high hcg levels; everything was normal until the scan. Hope everything goes well with you!!
